Start your day with a Tour of Pearl Harbor and experience the history, tragedy and heroism of the attack that brought the US into WWII through the USS Arizona Memorial. Then Tour Oahu’s famous North Shore on this all in one Circle Island Tour. Sightseeing in Oahu isn’t complete without a stop at Dole Plantation to try the famous “Dole Whip” frozen dessert, feed the fish in the plantation fishpond and shop for great souvenirs to take back home. Then it’s on to the North Shore surfing beaches, the cliffs of the Pali where the battle was fought to unite the islands, and the rugged east coast where such scenic wonders as the Halona Blowhole await your band of explorers! This is the perfect Oahu Island Tour for island visitors with limited time to explore.
